Vertex[TK] Posted September 17, 2016 Report Posted September 17, 2016 Awesome, thanks for confirming this. I am ready to order one but still not sure if I should order a frame and Alice pack as well, save on shipping together. Serge, are you permanently back in the US? Knowing how shipping can add up I'd go with getting everything from one source - remember to contact them to ensure they include the insert. At this point the guy has received enough orders that if you tell him you're doing a SW backpack he'll know what you mean. Yep, back in the states for now - we left Japan about 3 months ago. Glad to be back but we do miss it. 1 Quote
mr paul Posted September 17, 2016 Report Posted September 17, 2016 Paul received my hook today! Awesome. Thank you so much. Heavy little hook. <br> Cheers. You are very welcome Quote
mr paul Posted September 17, 2016 Report Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) My antenna is built. Made from scratch using fishing rod parts. I am currently rebuilding the entire back pack to a more CE accurate standard. -------------- Edited April 14, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working 1 Quote

mr paul Posted September 17, 2016 Report Posted September 17, 2016 Inside the ammo box and location of the 6 straps. The inside of my ammo box is actually neater than the CE display but I prefer it this way. If anyone looks inside while I am trooping they will not see any joins. You can see how the cloth lining is useful for hiding where the straps thread through. 1 Quote

moldycrow[TK] Posted September 19, 2016 Report Posted September 19, 2016 Would anyone be willing to take a couple measurements of the hook? I'm thinking of modeling one for 3D printing. Quote
mr paul Posted September 20, 2016 Report Posted September 20, 2016 I have a few of these left if anyone wants the original working metal greeblie for their back pack build. PM me for details. Quote

Thanks for the interest. That would great and appreciated. Need help sourcing the correct pack, lots of nylon stuff out there but can't seem to find genuine canvas Alice packs. Quote
Vertex[TK] Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) That would great and appreciated. Need help sourcing the correct pack, lots of nylon stuff out there but can't seem to find genuine canvas Alice packs. Have you checked out the shops in Nakano (Broadway)? There's 2 or 3 stores on the 2nd or 3rd floor. You wont find the frame but you may find the canvas pack. Edited September 21, 2016 by Vertex 1 Quote

Always want to go but somehow missed getting there. I think I will be heading there soon,maybe tomorrow! I think for the frame i will make one for now until i source one locally or when i get back to the US.Wish me luck! Quote
mr paul Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 That would great and appreciated. Need help sourcing the correct pack, lots of nylon stuff out there but can't seem to find genuine canvas Alice packs. My large lc-1 alice pack is made from nylon. I used a black dye named Idye-Poly. Its specifically for dyeing nylons and synthetics. 1 Quote

mr paul Posted September 22, 2016 Report Posted September 22, 2016 Is the actual pack actually black or a dirty green? people who witnessed the pack at CE said it looked black. I think it is a dark green nylon pack dyed black. 1 Quote

Tk Gino[TK] Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 I get the feeling the frame sits inside the Alice-pack , are there any pictures of the frame visible...also the straps that go over the lid/flap have been adjusted with an extra pair of strapping buckles, any thoughts on this? Quote
sithpiper67[TK] Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 What is the bed roll material? Where from? In usa? Gibbon nentioned Austrian soft cover, no return on google for that TK HWT TFA TIE Pilot in progress "we think they may be splitting up" Quote
Alpinedarthmaul[TK] Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 There are picture of the bottom of the pack, and you can see the frame underneath, so the frame is not tucked inside the Alice pack. Quote
